Up-and-coming multinational blues rock band BLUES PILLS have announced details of their 4-song EP, Devil Man, which will be released in mini-CD and 10” vinyl versions on October 29th exclusively through Nuclear Blast USA’s Mail-Order Webshop.
Devil Man’s artwork was created by Kiryk Drewinski (THE X-RAY HARPOONS, THE MAGNIFICENT BROTHERHOOD, BABY WOODROSE, THE FLYING EYES).
The track listing & band commentary for the songs on Devil Man are as follows:
01. Devil Man
“One of the first songs we wrote, but it’s still one of our favorites to play. It’s just a simple riff with a good melody played with lots of energy. The message is simple and it’s about anyone who you consider to be your enemy!”
02. The River
“The softest and saddest song we have. The lyrics are basically about searching for answers to life’s questions.”
03. Time Is Now
“All about living in the present and enjoying the moment. Live today!”
04. Dig In
“We tried to play with the dynamics of the song quite a bit. It showcases our delicate side as well as our heavy side. The lyrics are about living according to your own beliefs as opposed to what you are told to believe and not blindly buying into something.”
BLUES PILLS will tour Europe this November with label mate rockers SCORPION CHILD from Austin, Texas and San Francisco doom rockers ORCHID.

HEARD IT ON THE BLUES PILLS GRAPEVINE
• "Blues Pills is a cool band with a ripping youngster on guitar. I'll throw these folks my vote." - Scott Holiday, RIVAL SONS
• "Blues Pills sounds like a super group straight out of 1967 San Francisco - Big Brother and The Holding Company - thrown to the dirty floor to be mopped up by The Jimi Hendrix Experience Band. It's great to see a band doing the ‘60s thing with such reverence for authenticity." - Carter Kennedy, ORCHID
• "Blues Pills is one of the most interesting new acts from Sweden. Heavy, well-played blues. A new favorite!" - Ola Henriksson, WITCHCRAFT
• "The explosive offspring from a cosmic ménage à trois between the Jimi Hendrix Experience, Shocking Blue, and early Fleetwood Mac. Poppin' some of these pills will free your mind and your ass will most likely follow." - Ludwig Dahlberg, FREE FALL/ THE (INTERNATIONAL) NOISE CONSPIRACY
• "Blues Pills have managed to capture an amazing authentic feel and sound to their style of blues rock. If no one had told me they are so young, I would have bet my balls on them being some old lost re-mastered treasure from the early ‘70s." - Niclas Etelävuori, AMORPHIS
• “The Blues Pills are one of the best female-fronted rock groups of the scene today, paying homage to the founders of 60's and early 70's psychedelic/hard rock music, while forging ahead into the future with their own unique sound.“ - Mike Varney, founder of SHRAPNEL RECORDS
